..."Jeb Bush will be the republican nominee. A lackluster primary and apathetic core voter base will ..."

Even the Repiblican Party is not stupid enough to NOT SEE the "Bush Baggage" that Jeb would carry in 2008.
They alrweady know that America wont turst Jeb (GW.'s Lair Issues), no matter what or how he says it... too much like his bother in "image".
'If' Jeb ever coveted the President's Office, he will have to wait at leat till 2012, to make a go for it. Like GW. Bush waited for Clinton, who defeated his Father, once Clinton had Completed his Two Terms and could not run again.

Anybody who realy believes the Bush Family Name has that much "Kennedy Clout", in the party, is a little over optimistic. And America does not like Monarchs, or Imperial Family Rule, 2 Bushes as President is enough for one generation.

McCasin will not win due to his chameleon appearance. Rudy can forget due to his immoral daliances - while his wife and kids livced in the State mansion he lieved downtown with this...
Hillary although a very intelligent lady has to get past too many haters.

The next President is not among the current leads.

I pick Obama although it would not bother me if Hillary won either. I agree about Jeb Bush. Republicans now will be forever linked with the religious crazies in this country and they will vote for the Bushes who have parlayed those fruitcakes into votes.

The crazy fruitcake religious right will never go for Rudy, the New Yorker. They dont trust people from the north.

Don't worry Republicans Mark Foley is behind you;)

I don't think this country would elect a female president, or one that is 50% afro-american. And I agree we need younger candidates, but the fact is a majority of people under 25 don't vote at all.

Jeb Bush will be the republican nominee. A lackluster primary and apathetic core voter base will spur the illusion of a grass roots movement for Jeb who will once again appeal to the evangelists, farmers/ranchers (those Bush boys were quite the farmers, weren't they?) and the "If I Did It" Network lemmings. The Republicans still can't find their way out of the Bush Lucky Sperm Club. Case in point: it took Poppy Bush calling out his old cronies to come up with the Iraq Study. Junior didn't like that.

Its going to be President Obama. He can hire more experienced advisors, maybe run with Vice President Wes Clark. At least we can trust Obama's choice of people he surrounds himself with, unlike Bush, and we know he is intelligent enough to listen to other people's opinions.

Rafterman1, I'm over 60 but I totally agree with you. I have seen what "experience" has brought us over the years, and it's not a pretty site. Bring on Obama or any other young person that has not been corrupted by the Beltway. The young people need to step up to the plate and us old f@rts need to step aside. One thing is for sure, that mess it up more than previuos generation have manages to do.

[jonw1115]

If you want younger leaders then you need to motivate our young citizens. Older generations decide elections with their votes because of poor turnout by young voters. I totally agree with you Rafterman1.

Enough old people for President. I'm dead serious. Presidents over 55 don't understand a large portion of our country, it's youth. And experience means squat for being elected President. No previous job can prepare you for that. Besides, that's what they have advisors for. At least Obama isn't spoiled by "the system". We complain about our politicians and how cynical and political they are, yet won't elect anyone unless they are experienced politicians. That makes no sense. The last thing we need is an "experienced" politician. To me, an expeirienced politician is one who mastered the art of cr@p. It's time for Obama for the Dems or whoever the Repubs have that's under 50.

Same ole *** different day. We DO NOT need a McCain or a Hillary or a Kerry, these are the same old run of the mill political hacks that have sit by and watched this country go to hell in a hand basket. We need people with the guts to do whats right for America, not some special interest group that is greasing their palms and funnelling $$$ into their campaign funds. We need REAL campaign reform which the likes of the current group of lackeys will never bring about.
